Golden Rainbows Project

Derbyshire LGBT+ are pleased to announce the launch of their new project ‘Golden Rainbows’. The project is funded by Lloyds Bank and aims to reduce the isolation and loneliness often experienced by older LGBT+ individuals who live and/or work in rural Derbyshire. The Project is being led by Connor, who would love to talk to anyone who self-identifies as LGBT+, is over the age of 50 and lives or works in rural Derbyshire about their needs, their experiences and what support they would like.

Research from Rural Action Derbyshire and Derbyshire LGBT+ has shown that older LGBT+ people experience higher levels of isolation and loneliness in relation to their heterosexual counterparts. This isolation and loneliness is doubled if an older LGBT+ person lives in a rural area of the county. We hope that this year long project will help overcome some of the barriers that people have found in accessing appropriate LGBT+ 50+ support.

If you, or anyone you know would be interested in the Golden Rainbows Project, please contact Connor directly on connorgoldenrainbows@derbyshirelgbt.org.uk or phone us on 01332 207704.
